Thanks again @Nodge68 is that the usual cause of a whistle?

Thanks again @Nodge68, really appreciate your comments. Unfortunately before my ownership I cannot comment on servicing. I always service my vehicles ahead of time and with all correct fluids. However, the car has developed a whistle so was considering the worst case scenario. Any thoughts if I...

Thanks @Nodge68 are we talking (depending on driving style) over 150k miles or so..

Hi I'm hoping someone might be able to offer some advice please any thoughtful comments gratefully received. Has anyone had their turbo refurbished? If so, please may I have the details of the company used and the quality of the parts / work. I'm based in South Yorkshire but willing to travel...

Edited this as I've answered my own question

Many thanks @pwood999 thats the kind of thoughtful and helpful response I am here for and would help others with if I am able to do so

I don't find your comment particularly helpful or constructive. If your willing to pay £1000+ for a complete suspension per corner that's your affair. I prefer to get value for money. Plenty of Audi R8 owners get their magnetic dampeners refurbished with very good results. Maybe you would tell...

I think I will install a new battery as a first port of call so to speak (have to start somewhere).. is it possible this could be part of the problem? Then I'll scan for codes again after telling it is had a new battery. The terrain settings all work with no issue. No faults in this regard...

Yeah I have had the car checked over by a specialist who advised both front suspension struts are 'locked'. That matches with the way the thing drives which is pretty terribly. There are no fault codes for the suspension. All other associated parts are confirmed as good. I'm considering having...

Just before I try this what should I expect to happen? Should the suspension go soft? And it through up a fault on the dash? Will unplugging confirm if the suspension is 'locked' or not? Thanks in advance J

I have taken it to a specialist. As its a Dynamic its got magnetic dampening. Both fronts have gone very hard. I'll phone my local stealer just for a laugh to find out our their price.. otherwise its a bay special.. Can these not be rebuilt? (I would hope so at £470 ish quid per corner) J

After some advice really please I own an Evoque 2.2 dynamic and the suspension on both driver and passenger front corners is extremely hard..I suspect the suspension has 'locked out'. Is it a case of replacing both strut assemblies or can they be refurbished / rebuilt?? Any helpful comments...

I think the front end looks good.. Just for clarity the orange tape is there as I re-lacquered the badging. That may or may not be the correct thing to do, but again it looks good

I thought I'd share this in case anyone is interested.. I own an Evoque L538 2.2 62 plate dynamic. Some kind soul installed a facelift bumper (believe it is a facelifted, pure) by this I mean a bumper with a shallow cut out where foglights are at the top of this section as opposed to a bumper...

Ok many thanks @300bhp/ton and @Nodge68, much appreciated. A shame as I like a DS. I'll stick with my early 2.2 then, which recently has been out of action, see other posts on here. Looks like it's a Defender then!
